Koh Lipe

Koh Lipe or Ko Lipe, pronounced as Ko Lee-pae, is the southern most island in Thailand and is one of the many Butang Islands located in the beautiful Tarutao National Marine Park.

Lipe island was first discovered by the Chao Ley (or Sea Gypsies) who would travel from island to island in search of the best fishing in the areas to feed themselves and their tribes. The Chao Ley eventually found a permanent home on Koh Lipe and were given a grant to settle on the island's eastern beach (Koh Lipe Sunrise Beach) and have since remained there.

There are many new Koh Lipe Hotels to choose from for your holiday. It really depends on what you want and need from your accommodation choice.Use the handy form on the left side of all of our pages to check availability.

Pattaya Beach is by far the most populated area on the island so it's more of a busy vibe. The east coast or Sunrise Beach, which stretches from the south to the north of the island, and as the name suggests, faces the sunrise and the northern end of Sunrise Beach, Karma Beach, faces Koh Adang, offers a mix of both so if you want to experience everything be sure to find some accommodation on Sunrise Beach. The west or Sunset Beach offers a relaxed, laid-back vibe to get away from the stresses of daily life. There is also a Koh Lipe Walking Street that is in the middle of the island and connects Pattaya and Sunrise Beach. Walking Street is filled with great accommodation and shops!

The island itself is not so difficult to reach, but it's still quite a secret. From the middle of November until late May (high season) you can get to Lipe from several places.

Lipe also has an immigration office and is only about 1 hour away from Langkawi in Malaysia, so it's a great place to do a visa run, or exit Thailand from an island. If you're visiting anytime not in between November and May then the only place that can transport you to Lipe is from Pak Bara.

Translated into the local Chao Ley language, Koh Lipe literally means "Island Paper, or Paper Island."
